Roland general questions???

Do you guys leave the roland in sleep mode when you finish or turn the sub power off.

 

[StreamlineDesign]

Sleep.

sleep

What do you normally have head height at, I was thinking of putting it on high as I have a fear of head strike.

Would this decrease the quality of the work done on 100 micron vinyl?

 

[B Snyder]

Normally low. These are the kinds of things you can test in your shop and see for yourself.

 

[synergy_jim]

I have not ran into a material yet that wont print on low head height with the proper heat settings and a take up reel.

 

[kustom.printing]

Just wondering if other Roland vp540 owners find head height at high better or not as I would feel better with that little extra height.

dude.... high head height always yields less quality.... period...

it give more room for the ink to deflect and/or drift.

I don't care what printer you use.....

...always medium head height or high when printing banner stock or "ready to print" banner media

[B Snyder]

Medium?

 

[Ponto]

Medium?

Roland SC-545EX ... low, medium, high head height selection...would use low only on photographic type reproduction... The medium offers great output for everyday stuff.

VP540 only has high or low, so best to leave it at low and just for banner material.

 

[B Snyder]

 

[kustom.printing]

what's with the , I wish there was a medium setting on the roland best of both world's.

 

[B Snyder]

How would you know? You haven't even the most rudimentary knowledge of your printer.

 

[kustom.printing]

Thing's I haven't got the grasp of doesn't constitute total lack of knowledge most of the question I have ask I already knew but what is the harm in asking 20+ year vets.

Is there a medium setting as I don't think there is but could be proven wrong?

Take for example the earlier question, if you check the manual it says always turn the sub power off and leave it on at the back, no where does it say let it go into service mode.

Also I have had the printer 1 week.

 

[synergy_jim]

my xc-540 does not have a medium height setting either.

I am pretty sure roland did away with it.

 

[Ponto]

"...Also I have had the printer 1 week."

They can be very intimidating... do small test prints and experiment with your new aquisition before commiting to large scale prints...!!!

[B Snyder]

Also I have had the printer 1 week.

Which is precisely why I don't think you should make statements like "VP540 only has high or low, so best to leave it at low and just for banner material."

Sorry I think I may have sounding like I was saying rather than asking.

Thanks for the quick reply’s
